Wednesday I attended the opening of The Green Lighthouse, a student house at the University of Copenhagen - the faculty for natural sciences. The opening was represented by Minister of Science, Technology and Innovation, Liberal Helge Sander (V), as well as the headmaster of the university Ralf Hemmingsen, vice-chancellor Lykke Friis, Chief Mayor of Copenhagen, Social Democrat Ritt Bjerregaard (A), and Mayor for the technical department at the city hall, Social-Liberal Klaus Bondam (B). And joined by representatives from the private companies that helped construct the lighthouse.
The Green Lighthouse is CO2-neutral in its construction, primarily making use of CO2-friendly building materials and light. It is to be used as a student house for reading sessions, study groups, and for breaks between lectures. And for green enlightenment.
